Bobby LeeBobby Lee trades in a wide screen brand of cosmic country-folk, full of space and pawn shop guitars. There are touches of JJ Cale’s analogue Americana, the swampy groove of Tony Joe White and Richard Thompson’s sinewy, modal guitar work. Amps hum in the warm afternoon sun, kids and dogs snooze on the grass and broken drum machines keep time with the universe…
Bobby released his debut album, Shakedown in Slabtown, in August 2020, on his own Natural Histories imprint, which Mojo Magazine described as “word of mouth sensation amongst discerning heads.” It was swiftly followed by Origin Myths in March 2021, released on the legendary Tompkins Square Records, becoming album of the week on Huey Morgan’s 6Music show and gaining support from BBC’s Late Junction, No Depression, The Guardian, NTS and WFMU. His collaboration, “Walking With Trees”, a collaboration with Mia Doi Todd, was released in September 2021 via Re:Warm. His third album Endless Skyways was released June 2023 via Tompkins Square.
